The Sullivan Summer Community Band is preparing to kick off a second season of performances and local musicians are invited to join.
Community Band Director Shaun Schaefers emphasized the community band will be open to incoming ninth-12th grade high school students as well as any adult community members who play an instrument.
“Last year we had 40 participants with an even mix of student and community members,” Schaefers said, encouraging more musicians to participate this year.
Interested musicians should sign up before May 13 online at sullivanband.wordpress.com/scb or contact Shawn Schaefers at schaeferss@sullivan.k12.il.us or call 217/728-8311 ext 1231
“This free opportunity is a great chance for students to continue to play fun music over the summer and a great excuse for older musicians to dust off their clarinets and play again,” Schaefers said.
Rehearsals beginning May 28 are from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Sullivan HS Band Room, concerts are 6:30 p.m. in Wyman Park. First concert is scheduled for Thursday, June 6.
